Streamlining code for Digital I/O in LPC2000

[kender]

Colleagues,

I’m new to ARMs (the usual disclaimer). Could anyone recommend a convenient library or methodology for streamlining the simple digital I/O. I’m concerned more about code maintainability than the speed of execution. Here’s how it’s done in the IAR examples. I think it’s a lot of code for just being able to toggle a pin high or low.

// file: board.h
// USB link LED
#define USB_LINK_LED_MASK   (1UL<<18)
#define USB_LINK_LED_DIR    IO1DIR
#define USB_LINK_LED_FDIR   FIO1DIR
#define USB_LINK_LED_SET    IO1SET
#define USB_LINK_LED_FSET   FIO1SET
#define USB_LINK_LED_CLR    IO1CLR
#define USB_LINK_LED_FCLR   FIO1CLR
#define USB_LINK_LED_IO     IO1PIN
#define USB_LINK_LED_FIO    FIO1PIN

Of course, it’s not hard to write such library, or make an automatic code generator. But I’d like not to reinvent this wheel if possible.
